Howie
Howie automates email responses and scheduling with contextual AI understanding. Ideal for sales teams and executives in enterprises. Featured in 2026 AI email tools.
Howie is an AI-powered email-based scheduling assistant that automates meeting coordination, rescheduling, and calendar management, delivering the core value of reclaiming hours from tedious back-and-forth emails for busy professionals.[1][2][3] Key features include seamless email commands for booking meetings in everyday language, intelligent conflict resolution across synced calendars, Zoom integration for automatic link generation, team-wide availability scanning, and daily schedule summaries with optimization insights.[2][3][4]
It targets executives, sales teams, startup founders, journalists, office managers, and remote workers who juggle external calls and need reliable automation without new apps or steep learning curves.[1][2] What sets Howie apart is its hybrid AI-human review system for human-like reliability, zero-learning-curve email integration that works instantly by CC'ing threads, and scalability for organizations, recently featured among 2026's top AI email tools after raising $6 million.[1][5][9]

The Privacy Policy does not explicitly state whether user data is used to train AI models. While it mentions using information for 'service improvement' and 'analyze and monitor usage,' there is no clear commitment that user content will not be used for AI training, nor is there an explicit opt-out mechanism for training.
“[Privacy] 'To provide the Howie Website Service...analyze and monitor usage; prevent spam, fraud and abuse on the Website; and for other customer service and support purposes.'”
The Terms of Service grant Howie an extremely broad license to user content. The license is explicitly 'irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable, nonexclusive' and permits modification, publication, display, and use 'in connection with operating, improving, and providing' services, which is overly expansive for an enterprise context.
“[ToS] 'You grant to Howie an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable, nonexclusive license to copy, modify, publish and display your User Content, and to make, use (and permit others to use) your User Content in connection with operating, improving, and providing you with Howie Community.'”
The Privacy Policy permits sharing with 'subsidiaries and affiliates,' 'contractors, service providers, and other third parties,' and in merger/acquisition scenarios. While some structure exists, the language is vague about which third parties receive what data, and there is no published sub-processor list or explicit DPA requirements mentioned for all categories of sharing.
“[Privacy] 'To our subsidiaries and affiliates. To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business.'”
The Privacy Policy does not specify clear retention periods for most data types. It states users can request deletion and that 'we cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account,' but does not define how long data is retained before deletion or what happens to cached/archived copies.
“[Privacy] 'We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.'”
The Terms of Service explicitly state that user contributions are 'non-confidential and non-proprietary' and grant Howie broad rights to use, reproduce, modify, and sublicense the content. This prevents the company from asserting exclusive ownership over outputs generated within the platform.
“[ToS] 'Any User Contribution you post to the site will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Contribution on the Website, you grant us and our affiliates and service providers...the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose.'”
Neither the Terms of Service nor Privacy Policy mention SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR compliance certifications, HIPAA, or any formal security certifications. While the Privacy Policy mentions a Data Processing Addendum for EEA users, no trust page, security documentation, or compliance certifications are referenced.
“[ToS] 'If you are a HOWIE USER, AUTHORIZED USER, VIEWER, OR INVITEE LOCATED IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, SWITZERLAND, OR UNITED KINGDOM, THE DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM ACCOMPANIES THESE TERMS' (but no certifications detailed)”
